PREFACE 



:>X*C 



Mt. Pleasant, Boxbury, Mass., 
September 5th, 1879. 

The foundation of the Collection here catalogued 
was laid by Mr. George "W. Pratt, late of Boston, 
who for many years was engaged in gathering a 
cabinet of gold coins such as is not often seen. 
Mr. Pratt's taste led him specially to the collection of 
the beautiful in art, — paintings and ceramics as well 
as coins. He cared little for a series when the only 
variation was in a date; but for the beauties of the 
medallic art, he was not only a connoisseur but an 
enthusiast. > The gold coins here presented are 
almost unrivalled by any similar collection in the 
country, both for rarity and beauty of condition. In 
the department of Medals, the same love for the 
beautiful guided him in his selection, as even a 
cursory examination will at once reveal. 

Inheriting from his father not only the gems 
referred to, but a taste not less refined, Mr. P. M. 
Pratt has added greatly to the collection, particularly 
in the American series, most noticeably in the depart- 
ment of Cents, which, as will be seen, are particularly 
fine. The writer trusts that no small number of the 
numismatists of America will afford themselves the 
pleasure of examining this collection while it is on 
exhibition in ISTew York, but he ventures to call the 



PREFACE. 



particular attention of those who cannot make a 
special examination, to the unusual number of coins 
and medals in the Catalogue, which are scarcely ever 
met with in an Auction Room. 

In the gold series will be found many pieces which 
now make their appearance here for the first time. 
The American series, though by no means complete, 
contains many coins now seldom met with. The 
Fractional Currency is more full than any collection 
heretofore offered for sale, comprising some varieties 
almost unknown. 

A little assortment of Relics of the Stone Age has 
been added to the Catalogue, and amongst them will 
be found some most rare and desirable examples. A 
few useful numismatic books have also been included; 
also, an unusually good assortment of priced Coin 
Catalogues. 

In conclusion : I have adopted the system of descrip- 
tion which I have for so many years used, as I trust to 
the satisfaction of collectors, making my descriptions 
as full as due regard for brevity will allow, and as fair 
as a long experience enables me to do. 

W. ELLIOT WOODWARD.

618 Rutter's card; "Cash for rags, junk, iron, copper, brass, 

&c, Wm. Rutter, Red store, Fulton street, Boston ;" 
rev., " Songs and ballads, wholesale and retail, Ful- 
ton street, Boston." Rutter's is without doubt the 
rarest of all the old series of American store cards ; 
only about twenty of them were made, and their use 
was prohibited before they had been in circulation an 
hour. I believe this to be the best specimen extant. 

619 A woman standing, holding in her right hand a bunch 

of arrows, and supporting a pole with liberty cap. 
In her left hand a caduceus. " Netherland declares 
America Free ;" rev., Flags of the United States and

Revolutionary medals. Copper, proof. 20.

two towers. " Santiago de Tores Guanado, 1747." 
This piece reminds one at once of Mr. Mickley's cele- 
brated Florida piece, by similarity in general appear- 
ance. As to whether or not it has any relation to 
America, I am in doubt, but of the great rarity of the 
piece there is no question. Silver. 18.

tiful series of medals does not exist. The series is

crossing near the old Post Office, but who now has a store for the sale of
